Horses to good homes

We have 2 horses up for new homes at our stables. If you know of anyone that is looking for a horse, please comment.

Let me introduce:

1. Teddy: 8 yr old palomino gelding, approx. 14 hands, quarter horse




2. Bella: 10 yr old Paso Fino mare, approx. 15 hands, gaited - very smooth

   

Away with that old Fence!

We put up new privacy fence on the back of our property. Strictly cedar. The old fence was infested with termites and extremely rotten. What an eye sore. It was that old fence that caused us having to put up electric fence so the dogs don't get out. All they had to do was to bump it and a slat would move. Problem was: this is our neighbor's fence. So, our other neighbors, who also share a section of this neighbor's fence said, enough's enough and asked to please be allowed to replace this eyesore. The fence owner said he would pay half. I guess that's better than nothing?

So, Paul took off the afternoon yesteday, bought the woood and they worked all afternoon. When I came home from work we continued until 9 pm. We had to use artificial light to just finish off. See the before and after. What a difference! And it smells wonderfully....CEDAR!

Below you see Paul and Phillip (our neighbor) carrying an old section into the fire.

Above is Michelle and Paul.

Any Cowboys Fans out there?

At work we are building 2 huge stars for the New Dallas Cowboys Stadium. I took a picture of the assembly. The parts will have to be taken apart now and painted 3 different colors: white, silver and blue. We matched the Cowboys colors. There will be panels put in the openings of the stars but we are not providing them. I thought I'd show off what we do at the company I work for.

Happy Birthday Paul

On 4-22 was Paul's bithday. Here are some snap shots.

Thrilled about his card at 6:03 in the morning.
Look who came to congratulate!


The Goodie Bag from the parents:

Items for the griling enthusiast! Grill tools, barbecue sauce, marinade mixer...mmh, I am waiting for the food to be served, Paul!

It's a girl

It's Savannah who has been squirming around inside my belly! Yesss! It's a girl and Paul and I are excited. We just found out yesterday.

Everything is there: all toes and fingers. Paul thinks she has has his eyes.

Endlich haben wir gestern rausgefunden, dass es eine Savannah ist, die ich in meinem Bauch gefuehlt habe und die ihre Fuesse auf meine Blase stellt. Wir freuen uns. Gott hat das wieder wunderbar hingekriegt! Alle Zehen und alle Finger sind dran. Paul denkt dass sie seine Augen hat. Das Ultraschallbild sah im Bildschirm viel besser aus als diese Ausschnitte, weil sie sich bewegt hat. Ich war gestern nacht so aufgeregt, dass ich gar nicht schlafen konnte. Habe mir immer ueberlegt, was ich alles fuer Frisuren machen kann. Franzoesischer Zopf, Seitenschwanz, Natuerlich keinen Pony. Ich hatte immer einen und ich wollte immer keinen. Vielleicht hat sie sogar Paul's Locken?

It's spring!

Every horse owner loves this time of year:

we could be brushing all day and never be done. When we do decide to quit, we are covered in HAIR! Not only on our clothes, but on our face, mouth, lungs and bra (how does that get in there?).

But it's the sign that something good is to come: longer days, warmer days, more time spent at the barn, slick and shiney horses, greener grass and tan skin.

HAPPY BRUSHING!
